Reviews

Just ok

"The polishing beads are way too large for my preference, so the experience felt more scrubby than refined or luxe. I generally prefer a much finer microdermabrasion-style exfoliant, and this just wasn’t my cup of tea. I also didn’t notice any visible improvement in my skin after using it."

— El (3/5)

Good light exfoliant

"Nice for weekly physical exfoliation. Not drying or irritating. Not strong smelling."

— Eva B. (5/5)

Skin feels smooth, clean and bright

"Leaves my skin feeling smooth, clean and bright. Great at preventing acne too when I use it daily."

— Tiffany S. (5/5)

Perfect texture

"Good gentle exfoliant. Not harsh!"

— Mary M. (5/5)

Effective and Gentle Exfoliation

"I love this exfoliating scrub: it is both effective and gentle. And it is hard to bet the price for a high-end, clean beauty cleanser, especially when you use auto-ship."

— Hilary D. (5/5)

Great exfoliant

"Good for sensitive skin! Using this every week and loving"

— Liz (5/5)

Exfoliating CMP

"This exfoliating wash is gentle and works well. The reason for the 4 stars is that I feel it could use a bit more of the exfoliating beads(not sure what else to call it). It’s like the ratio of beads to cream cleanser is not quite right. That said, I’m liking well enough and feel it was a solid purchase."

— Rachel T. (4/5)

Wow

"My skin is very dry right now from the cold northeast winter. Immediately could tell a difference in smoothness and brightness of my skin after one use. I have rosacea and it caused no redness. . though I think it would probably irritate my sensitive skin if used daily, so I will put this on a weekly rotation! Also love it has 0 fragrance."

— Jen (5/5)

Gentle & Effective

"Gentle and effective! Has been helping with winter dry skin for sure—and I love The Outset Balm for an added layer of protection after exfoliating."

— AM (5/5)

Love It!!!

"Micro polish is so lovely, nice light scent and makes my skin look and feel so wonderful. I use this maybe 3 times a week in between normal skincare days and a chemical exfoliation. Seems to be working well!"

— Mary W. (5/5)
